    @deusdigit: I believe if you redeem it, you probably wont get it till December.  The game doesn't release till December 22.  (That's a weird release date.  Three days before Christmas.)

    @deusdigit: I'm just taking a guess here since I didn't buy the game.  A game can be rated by the ESRB and not come out for quite some time.  Activision will probably release some news on when the games will start shipping out.  We just have to wait and see what happens right now.

    I noticed today at Walmart that it said if you bought GH5 you would get GH:VH before you can buy it. Will that be a week or several months? That I don't know.

    They're claiming no later than 6 weeks from when you redeem the offer, which would mean people could possibly have it as early as the middle of October.

    Here's the real question:  who the fuck honestly wants it?!  Seriously, Alex Van Halen's drum work on Van Halen's catalog is mostly horrible, and Michael Anthony's bass riffs are just basic runs.  Other than that, you can get intoxicated as shit and still sing Roth's parts.  The ONLY thing about a GH Van Halen game that's worthwhile is Eddie's guitar riffs...and even then, I'm sure they won't be nearly as fun as people think they will be.

    thats awesome! one thing i have noticed tho, is that the playstation3 version is nowhere to be found, even on ebay. i assume that the xbox 360 version is the first one being sent out.
